Details:
Ron was had been upset and was last seen hitchhiking down Interstate 5 after learning he had a
father different from his siblings. Because he left on his own, his family didn't report him missing until
February 1979, four months later, when they hadn't heard from him.
Ron was a Saugus High School football player, and although he was a typical troubled 19-year-old
there was no reason for him to stay gone for so long. He had been looking forward to being in his
Sister's upcoming wedding and then joining the Job Corp. His case has never been solved.
